    I'm genuinely perplexed that anyone can believe in superstitions never mind one as retarded as this.
    But at least we get a few horror films on the TV. Unfortunately most of them are also a load of bollocks.
    Do any boardsies believe in this ****e?

    Hold it, hold it. Black cat crossing etc = lucky, white crossing=unlucky. Or is it vice versa? Jasus, what about black and white cats? This sh1t gets complex. I'm sticking to believing in the Magpies.

    Black cat is unlucky.
    Friday 13th is unlucky

    is it like Maths where two negatives equal a positive??

    Black cat + Friday 13th = Super Lucky:eek:

    yeah, but someone told me recently that if you "salute" magpies it undoes their affect

    why is friday the 13th considered unlucky?

    Vast Swathes of people in Ireland get paid on Friday, so it balances out any negative incidents.

    In effect, Friday the 13th becomes like an ordinary day for me.

    I just feel sorry for folks who get paid on a Thursday. Knowing them, they'd buy lots of forgotten about rounds at those 2EURO per drink nights; then wake up pilfered wondering where their uri gellers went.

    It is a superstition people have had thru the years with Friday being labeled the unluckiest day and 13 an unlucky number mainly linked to the Knights Templar, which upon Friday the 13th,people were tortured, accused of crimes they did not commit,burnt at stakes and the like, the novel and movie the Da Vinci Code touches upon this,speaking of films when this day appears on the calendar the film Friday the Thirteenth is sometimes foolishly referenced oddly enough mostly by people that haven't actually seen it, sure most of the people in this film are unlucky to say the least but that's about the only realitivity apart from the title. Many titles in the horror genre are purposely released on Friday the thirteenth(5 of the 12 Friday the thirteenth movies even released on this day).Some interesting events on the date;Plane crash in the Andes,Rock band Black Sabbath released their first album,Rapper Tupac Shakur was shot,hurricane charley struck,this year in April an earthquake struck Italy.

    Going to a wedding today. They got a hell of a cheap deal with the hotel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    Nope, superstition is silly. My black cat crossed my path several times already - not a bother on me :D Might do the Euromillions later.

    EDIT:
    Going to a wedding today. They got a hell of a cheap deal with the hotel.


    That's incredibly smart.
